The Omelette House

This is an old fashioned diner in San Carlos. Set up is typical 1980s diners and has charm to it. Menu is extensive, you can find any combination of omelette you can imagine on the menu. Drink menu is very standard. There is ample parking spaces in the parking lot behind the diner. Now to the food! I ordered Italian sausage Joe's omelette with cheddar cheese added, Hash brown and side order of bacon. Although food was well prepared but was really under seasoned. In some point I ended up adding salt to the egg and sausage filling and the potatoes.Coffee was ok, diner style served hot and fresh. Service was super friendly and was star of the show on my recent visit. This place is accessible and kids friendly. The only let down for me was, this is an older diner and carpets start smelling funny. Since I visited on rainy day, this funny smell was really pronounced. I believe they need either a deep carpet cleaning or change the flooring. This is a three star diner for me.

I was in the mood for Eggs Benedict. We normally go to Town restaurant for breakfast but their Eggs Benedict has gotten more expensive for less food. Wanted to try something else. The Omelette House was nearby and we were seated quickly. Our server was pleasant and answered all questions we had. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with a side of extra hollandaise sauce. Our order was prepared quickly and the server reminded the cook staff that I asked for a side of hollandaise (often it's forgotten and I have to ask again for it), so that was nice that she remembered before my meal was served. It did take a little while, and she was waiting patiently for it. Sadly, because I was in such a mood for a good Eggs Benedict, this did not hit the spot. The English muffin was very soggy. The ham was good, the poached egg was good. The hollandaise served on top was not good. It was very broken. Strangely, the extra side of hollandaise was better. I am assuming that the extra side was made fresh and the sauce on my meal was an old batch of sauce, but that's just a guess. You can see the difference in the photos. I would not return for a breakfast meal here. Maybe other hours of the day would be better.

We came here on a Thursday morning. It was surprisingly busy for a workday morning. They said we can sit anywhere and we sat at the countertop. The waitresses were very nice and friendly. I noticed they even greeted some people by name who seemed to be regulars. This was a good American brunch and they had lots of options other than omelettes but we came for the omelettes. I got the mushroom, spinach, and swiss omelette. You can also build your own, but I think they had so many variations there wasn't a need for me to. The portion sizes were big and I had lots of leftovers. This place was so nice. Will definitely be back!

Nice, clean old school restaurant that has been well maintained. My server was nice & efficient and the service was great, a nice menu selection for breakfast or other meals and the food was very good. I would definitely come back here for more! (Update -- I came back again the next day!)

Food was excellent and our server Katie was a pleasure with her big smile checking on us a few times ! Very efficient service that wasn't overbearing. I'll absolutely be back !

Not so good. Went three for breakfast husband ordered sausage omelets. There was a mushrooms in it and he allergic to mushrooms we told Kathy who said she would tell mgr. No one came to our table. It was a pretty bad mistake

I passed by this place a few times and always wanted to stop by and try it. Finally, I got to try it, and this place is amazing. Upon entering, it seemed super busy. It looks like the place has been here for a while, but the chairs and tables looked modern. Not worn out and faded looking like some places.I was warmly greeted, right away. She looked like someone who enjoys her job. She told me that he chicken fried steak was the special today. So naturally, I had to order it. The portion was just right. It was crispy and so flavorful with the gravy.The other item we ordered was a ham and cheese omelette with pancakes. It looked so basic, but the flavor was amazing. The pancakes were buttery and delicious.I highly recommend this hidden gem. It is definitely worth it. It was reasonably priced, and the portion was just right.

Had brunch with a old friend who lives in the area. She suggested Omelette House. I must driven by that places many, many times without giving it a thought. My loss. It is a great breakfast spot and one I will add to my lineup.I had my favorite combo: eggs over easy, home fries, corned beef hash and whole wheat toast. And, lots of black coffee. It was fantastic.Service was also very good as out server kept our coffee cups full. Nice.Of course, I will be back.

First and foremost the breakfast meals prepared here are GREAT, the prices are moderate. The fine folks in the kitchen always get the orders correct. Now, what makes this place great is the service. The waitresses work really well together. It does not matter whom takes your order, someone will be by to refill your water glass, refill your coffee, etc. ( there is non of this, " that's not my station crap" ) :) These folks work hard, they do a great job and they always show appreciation for my business. And I'm a loyal customer and will continue to bring friends here.

Omelettes and more omelettes!We got there when they opened on a Sunday so it wasn't very busy. Like some other reviews have said, the layout (and THAT GUY at the counter) makes it noisy for the number of people there. Service was great and so was the food. Will definitely go again.
